Today, on July 20, 2013, my Great Aunt Ruthann passed away. You might remember the celebration of her 89th birthday on June 7. After her birthday, she became ill and her health deteriorated rapidly. I am posting to let you know since you shared with my family her birthday. She was the last of her generation in the Waldeck-Mulder family–the spouse of the youngest child of Clara and Charles, Charles Jr. Aunt Ruthann was a wonderful lady who was very loved by her close and extended family. She will be missed very much.

Luanne, I’m very sorry for your loss. Let me know if you need any help memorializing your dear Aunt Ruthann at FindAGrave.
Thank you so much for the sweet offer, EmilyAnn. I might take you up on that. I haven’t been able to get much started over there, although a very kind man did take some photos for me of one branch of the family and just sent me an email about it!
EmilyAnn, I do have a FindAGrave question. Is there a way to keep track on the website itself of the additions you make, the requests you put in, and the memorials you sponsor? I started doing a little work on it and figured I had better keep track or as I go along I won’t remember what I have done and what I have not done.
Thanks,
Luanne

It’s a tough day for a loss…any day is a tough day for a loss. At least you’ve got lots of people thinking of you and your family.
Thanks, Dave.
